Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Gently fold in the chopped crab meat, shrimp, green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
4. Transfer the seafood mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly across the surface.
5. Sprinkle paprika over the top for an added burst of flavor and a beautiful color.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent over-browning.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your choice of crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable sticks.
